Nail biting

Yesterday was the first time we've felt the warmth of the sun on our faces since November. Spring may not be here yet but it's on its way.  

'The Font' heard this at the music centre :https://youtu.be/Q_VvkOYJ0sE . It was beautifully played. 

The gentlemans outfitters is currently 'big' on tweed coats and those sorts of peaked caps that the local farmers wear. Angus notices a blue gilet that might be the right thing for our motor vessel cruise around Asia. 

The rugby crowd were out en masse in the afternoon and the Shawarma outlet did  a brisk trade in alcohol absorbing snacks. Scotland lost to our southern neighbour by a nail biting 16-15.

In a courtyard there's an old Holm Oak floodlit in green which seems to attract a large group of birds. As night falls these emit a wall of sound not dissimilar to hearing the parrots roosting in Delhi at sundown.

The pub is quieter after a hectic afternoon. By the time the concert is over the regulars are on their 3rd round of match replays on the bar television.
